Is the service manual available on this site Chris? cant find it on the Search, or do you have a short cut to one. Cheers Dicky

There brighter than I thought they'd be but not so's you'd blind anyone. They look realy good with the headlights on but the side lights look a bit yellowish next to them. I think Im begining to like them. Not very good pictures using the phone due to the glare so this is the best I can provide.

I eventually got a jesture of goodwill out of Nissan (but only a small one mind you, it is Nissan Customer Services after all). The fault had something to do with the play heads being out of alignment ( acommon problem they eventually divulged) My local dealer took the unit out and sent it off for repair and if memory serves Nissan paid the brunt of the repair bill.

There's always one out there!!!

Let you know later Im waiting for it to get dark. I doubt they'll be very bright though.

Fitted a couple of fog lights to the car. Bought them off ebay for around £15 the pair and fitted them today. Not sure I like the look but going to live with them a few days. Anyone seen any other better alternatives? What do you think these? Anyone know if the side light bulbs can be replaced with brighter led versions?

Im a bit late with my two pennith but---- Come on--- it’s a no brainer, everyone knows that gunmetal with the contrasting silver rays is BEST of breed, that’s why it’s the best selling colour. The grey makes its occupant look even more handsome and desirable than usual and---- keep this under your hat mind -----it’s quite a bit quicker than those other colours as well. Bugger-- didnt see that green one above before I posted. On reflection gunmetal might be just about as quick as that one.

Don’t think it’s got one. I believe a unit called the BCM (Body control Module) takes the turn signal info from the indicator stalk on the wheel and powers the indicator lamps itself. I also believe the clicking indicator sound is also controlled by the BCM which powers an audible sounder from one of its outputs. If that’s not the right answer it does sound quite good. No doubt someone will put us both right on the subject.

BUGGER, what a shocker! Been away from the site for a while and just read this today. I live in Newcastle and bought a couple of things off Phil a short while ago. Spoke to him on the phone at the time with a problem I had and a more pleasant and helpful guy you couldn’t wish to meet. I’m not religious but my wife is a committed Christian so I will ask her to get her church congregation to pray for him and your family. Really do hope he gets over this one and you and your family find the strength to cope with such a shocking turn of events

Oh by the way, Im always switched ON

I was born with mine, think I inherited it from my mothers side of the family, probably my gran.

So its got nothing to do with the rain only the colder more dense air. Hey Im starting to get the hang of this. I'll be fettling things next . So I’ve got to make the air colder and more dense even if its a sunny hot day. You know IanSi6’s air con idea has merit. However since Mr Pingu’s suggestion hints of an in depth understanding of old Einstein’s thinking, which I like, then: if e =mc² and I =v/r D (air density) = air con o/p x O² % ∑πr² x 106p/litre sod it, who need’s the money anyway!

It only gets better!!

Denser air would definatley make the car feel more responsive probably add extra 5-7 bhp gain So if I the air's as dense as say----------me, then I can book my appointment with the Dragon's>

No idea but its starting to sound like an idea.

BUGGER, didnt think of that one

You dog picked my price---ok £11750 then

Ah got your interest then! It’s raining in Newcastle and you know what I’m happy. The reason--- the mean machine seems to gain 20bhp when it rains. It seems more responsive, sharper and overall faster. Now come on you technocrats, WHAT’s HAPPENING, is it just me or is there a reason for this. This could by the route to your very first million

The DIL switches allow different sounds to be selected. Before moving the sounders I selected a higher frequency sound (higher pitch) and can now hear them over the music.

It’s the LH indicator on mine that’s the main problem to. The root cause is obviously the cancelling mechanism on the column but had a go at getting in to look at it and gave up, it looks to be a nightmare, hence the mod. I fitted a couple of RS 626-141 piezo sounders I acquired long ago; however the part number seems to still be valid with RS. The current model doesn’t seem to have the duel in line switches mounted on the back like mine however it doesn’t really matter all you need is a constant tone at a suitable dB level, mines around 100dB. I’ve mounted them in the boot next to the polystyrene structures on either side near the indicator wiring, so when the spare wheel’s in position and the various top covers are on as well as the tonneau cover, I’m not sure this is the optimum position following trials. When my daughter is in and has the music on at around level 15 they are difficult to hear, so I’m looking to move mine. I just stuck them in with sticky pads to try the position first and if moved closer you can put a sticky label over the to calm them down if required (mine have a volume control as well don’t know about the current model). Hears photos of mine (if I can get them loaded)

I know it’s been more than a while but I said Id get back on this one. Well the auto electrician who said there was a mod for this problem didn’t come through. Ive chased him long enough but he keeps fobbing me off. Guess there isn’t one. Anyway I recon Ive solved the problem myself. Its not the most elegant solution but its cheap, easy to fit and works a treat. I used two Radio Spares audible alarms (small things which take milliamps of current to operate) and connected one to each rear indicator, I said it was simple. The type I used allows various sounds depending on the setting of a little duel in line switch. When the indicators are on I can hear the “beepâ€

Bastards, don’t you just want to knock them out-----for ever! I know it probably greaves you to see the scratches but you could leave them in case it or something similar happens in the future. Pay to put it right when you sell.

I thought it was just mine! Why oh why did they not spot this when making it!! i dont seem to have this problem... honestly turn the wheel about 45 degrees and it cancels plus ive got in to the habit of self cancelling from couple of years back.... also.... if u know the self cancelling system is a bit iffy.... why dont u cancel the indicators yourself...surely thats a case of bad driving on your own behalf? -ho Its not about bad driving, it’s about bad design. Yes the driver could get into the habit of self cancelling after a while but during that time he’s vulnerable. Its easy to forget and once could be enough. What’s the point of designing a self cancelling mechanism that only works “up to a pointâ€

WORSE THAN ALL THESE IS THAT THE BLOODY INDICTORS DONT CANCEL UNLESS YOU DO A SERIOUSE AMOUNT OF STEERING WHEEL TURNING. HAD MANY NEAR MISSES WHEN PEOPLE AT 'T' JUNCTIONS THOUGHT I WAS TURNING IN HAVING JUST MADE ANYTHING LESS THAN A FULL 90DEG LEFT TURN. CANT HEAR THEM IF EITHER MUSIC OR A/C ON. THE INDICATOR LIGHT ISNT VERY BRIGHT AND GETS BLANKED OFF BY MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL BLOODY DANGEROUS IF YOU ASK ME
